Honestly - because I wanted to....
Not being cheeky here, but I keep my highly customized and "combination"
labels (those requiring multiple reference texts) in my general note
location. It's easy for me to find, and when somebody requests it, I
don't have to go in search of it and try and remember - "for that
alignment label that shows a profile elevation, did I hide it in the
alignment label styles or the profile label stlyes???"
Keep in mind that I'm very frequently creating new templates that may
require one of these special styles, so speed of going back to them is
pretty important to me.
